Harvey Page #3

Oh, shame on him! That was the main

reason I came. I want to see Elwood.

Do you realize, Veta,

I haven't seen Elwood in years?

I was saying to Mr. Chauvenet...

What do you want, my dear?

Just the other night, "What on earth

do you think happened to Elwood Dowd?

"He never comes to

the Yale Alumni Dances anymore.

I haven't seen him at the club

or the horse show in years."

Does Elwood see anybody

these days?

Yes, Aunt Ethel, Elwood sees

somebody. Yes, Aunt Ethel, he does.

Is Elwood happy,

Veta Louise?

Oh, yes, Aunt Ethel, Elwood's

very happy. You mustn't worry.

There's Mrs. Cummings.

She's waving at you.

Is that Mrs. Frank Cummings? Doesn't

she look ghastly? I thought she was dead.

I must get a closer look.

We can go in now. What did I do with my...

Oh, there it is.

Oh, no!

Elwood! Elwood Dowd!

Bless your heart!

Aunt Ethel.

What a pleasure...

to find a beautiful woman waiting

for me. Elwood, you haven't changed.

Elwood!

Well, you both

look lovely.

Some mail came for you. It looked

important so I put it up in your room.

Did you, Veta?

That was nice of you.

Aunt Ethel, I'd like to have

you meet a very dear...

Aunt Ethel, don't you want some

tea? Not just now, thank you.

There's punch if you don't

like tea. But I do like tea.

Stop pulling me,

you two.

Elwood, what night next week can you come

to dinner? You and Veta and Myrtle Mae?

I'll have Ordway there.

Ordway is my grandson.

Any night at all, I'd be

delighted. I'd like to meet Ordway.

And now, Aunt Ethel,

I'd like you to meet Harvey!

Harvey, you've heard me speak of Aunt

Ethel Chauvenet. One of my dearest friends.

She's the one who...

Hmm?

Th-That's right. Well, this

is the one. No, she's the one!

She... He says he would've

known you anywhere.

Well, now we must go in and

greet the rest of our friends.

Come along, Harvey.

Oh, Aunt Ethel,

will you pardon me?

You're standing

in his way.

There we are.

I'll see you in a minute.

I can see that you're disturbed

about Harvey. Please don't be.

He stares that way at

everybody. It's his way.

But he likes you, I can

tell. He likes you very much.

I'm, I'm coming, Harvey.

Well, I... I think

I'll be running along.

No tea? Or punch? No, no. Thank you.

Perhaps a nice lemon fizz...

I'll be going. Good-bye.

with a turkey wing

and some walnut dressing?

Oh, no!

Elwood.

Oh, no.

Not Mrs. Halsey.

She has a nephew. He's a little bit

old, but he would have done in a pinch.

She has a nephew. He's a little bit

old, but he would have done in a pinch.

Oh, Mother, I can't face

those people. I just can't!

Your uncle has disgraced us for the last

time in this house. I'm going to see to that.
